Melissa Berry Nude Photos Lead to Lawsuit

Melissa Berry stars for the Tampa Bay Breeze of the Lingerie Football League.

But while this linebacker doesn't mind rushing the quarterback in her skivvies, the model draws the line at nude photos being posted on the Internet against her will.

Such is the predicament Berry currently faces, as she is suing ex-boyfriend Mark Dawson for publishing several nude photographs of her on his MySpace page, including one taken without her knowledge of her "engaged in a particularly private, intimate sexual act."

Shortly after the naked pics were taken, the couple broke up. Dawson sees no reason why this should preclude him from making the photos public.

"For her to say that these pictures were taken against her knowledge is untrue because she is smiling in them," Dawson toldThe Tampa Tribune. "She takes her clothes off for a living and tells people I am doing all this other stuff. What she's doing now is creating a drama because there are pictures out there of her."

Berry, who is seeking unspecified damages in excess of $15,000, disagrees.

"If I wanted to take my clothes off for a living, that's what I would do,'' she said. "There's not a photographer that has ever taken those sorts of shots of me. It's more of a privacy thing. It's not for everyone else to see.... I am scared of what he will do to my career."

We can't answer that question.

But we do have a pretty good idea of what this scandal will do for the search term Melissa Berry nude photos.
